Statement of Significance
The place has aesthetic value as an example of an Inter War combined shop and retail premises with some original detail.
The place has historic value for its association with the development of Wembley in the Inter War period and this section of Cambridge Street which was, and continues to be, a retail hub.
The place has social value for its continuity of function as a commercial premises since the 1930s.
Physical Description
Single storey commercial building of brick construction with shallow parapet. The building has been altered to the front but remains in keeping with the commercial character of the street. The shop windows have been made operable, opening up into the internal café spaces.
The adjoining unit has similar operable windows across the majority of the façade. The units are of simple presentation. The original inter-war house that is set behind the retail units cannot be seen from Cambridge Street. The shop units were constructed in the mid-1970s.
History
This place consists of a residence and a group of retail premises built later in front of the residence facing Cambridge Street.
The residence was built c1934 and was occupied and owned by printer Robert Harold Miller (c1909-1981).
The retail premises were added to the front of the premises sometime between 1965 and 1974. Since that time the form and extent of the building has not changed significantly although it is apparent that the front elevation has been adapted and added to as occupants and requirements have changed.
